AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi Code Section 25-7-21 to increase the fee paid to publishers for each separate advertisement of land for sale due to unpaid taxes from $1.50 to $3.00, with this new rate to automatically increase annually starting July 1, 2027, at a rate similar to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. This change aims to update the publication fees, which were last set in 1985, to reflect current economic conditions and ensure that the cost of advertising these tax sales is adequately covered.
